Running around in circles
A typically clever page from Art Spiegelman. He may be best remembered for the powerful allegory MAUS, but most of his work involves a playful use of comics as jigsaw puzzles. This is from ARCADE: THE COMICS REVUE# 2, Summer 1975.

	Those arrows makes it difficult to read. Was the writer experimenting or something? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The arrows are the point. And yes, this is art spiegelman, who is ALWAYS experimenting. In this case he's playing with the conventions of sequence, and the way that time works on a comics page(and actually showing that time can be expressed simultaneously in comics). (Reply to this) (Parent)
